A Method for providing a trusted feedback (8, 80) in an access network (1)
is described, wherein a real time service monitor (7, 70) for real time
monitoring the quality of service provided to at least one user (4, 40)
by a server (3, 30) via the access network (1) is placed in an access
multiplexer (2, 20) being the last part of the access network (1) towards
the user (4, 40), wherein the real time service monitor (7, 70) is
sending a trusted feedback signal (8, 80) from the access multiplexer (2,
20) at least back to the server (3, 30), which signal (8, 80) comprises
real time information about the quality of service passing through the
access multiplexer (2, 20), plus an access network (1) comprising at
least one data link connecting at least one access multiplexer (2, 20)
being the last part of the access network (1) towards at least one user
(4, 40) with a core network or at least one server (3, 30) providing a
service (6, 60) to the user (4, 40) connected to the access network (1)
via the access multiplexer (2, 20) is described, wherein a real time
service monitor (7, 70) is arranged in the access multiplexer (2, 20)
providing real time monitoring of the quality of service passing through
the access multiplexer (2, 20), wherein the real time service monitor (7,
70) provides a trusted feedback signal (8, 80) to the server (3, 30)
comprising information about the quality of service in real time, plus an
access multiplexer (2, 20) adapted to receive a multimedia signal (6, 60)
from a multimedia provider (3, 30) and to forward at least part of said
multimedia signal (6, 60) to at least one user (4, 40) is described
wherein said access multiplexer (2, 20) comprises a real-time service
monitor (7, 70) adapted to collect information about the multimedia
signal (6, 60) passing the access multiplexer (2, 20) and being
transmitted between said multimedia provider (3, 30) and a particular
user (4, 40).
